Go vote!

[mbhandy]

In New York, the polls opened this morning at 6 o-clock. My wife and I got up and out at 6:05 a.m. and were at the polls by 6:10. No lines per say, but we were surprised to see about eight other voters there. The whole thing took less than ten minutes. I find it amusing that New York State is still using those huge old booths with the lever selectors. I think we're the only state that still uses them. But, I've never heard of any voting complaints with the lever booths so I guess there's no reason to update.

Here, Here.

We have the Diebolt Machines and there is all kinds of Mess-ups with those machines.
Any way I still have my I voted sticker on , So there I can complain as much as I want about the Congress and the Senate not doing anything.

Yes, I voted!!!

Well I was surprised to find paper ballots, fill in the oval variety. Then a machine to read them. No waiting, no troubles.

I'm Presbyterian, it's a duty to vote.

My polling place is in the community room of the small and beautiful Episcopal Church in which I married. There was no wait (there’s never any wait). I’m in such an old Voting District of the Philadelphia Main Line that the Judge of Elections resembles FDR -- really.

There are five adults in my family and all voted.

Not kilted then, but I’m kilted now (SWK Standard). I’m sitting at the open door of my garage with the temperature at 55F with light rain.
I’m enjoying some whisky.
I’m waiting to play some guitar as soon as the election news slows down -- I’m viewing NBC via a TV connection to my laptop (HDTV via antenna). It’s amazing what technology can do these days.

And I’m doing some laundry -- life goes on.

It’s getting a little damp. I switched to a Celtic Croft Economy Kilt.
Well, maybe the election coverage won’t slow down so soon.
I’m missing a sock from my laundry. I demand a sock recount!

Voting results were just announced; regardless of who you were for, once again we make history. Only in America could things quite like this come to pass, we live in one of the greatest and freest countries the world has ever seen.

If your candidate(s) won, wonderful, hold them accountable to their promises. Let them know what you think, and more importantly that you are watching.

If your candidate(s) lost, work to advance the ideas you saw in them that made them attractive to you. Hold the winners accountable to their promises, Let them know what you think, and more importantly that you are watching.

Remember in either case, two years and we hold referendum on tonights results. In four short years we can change once again, should we deem it necessary. Our system of checks and balances really does work, great minds thought it up, and now after almoost 240 years it remains the beacon to the rest of the world.

I am forever reminded by the words of Winston Churchill, " It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried".

We may not like the out come, but some how it always works. God bless and keep you all, and may God bless America.

To all of our out of country friends, thank you for your prayers and support, the strength of any nation is not in it's government, but rather in it's people.

I absenteed a week ago. I was afraid I was going to have to catch a special flight home! Wasn't going to miss the chance!

The political pendulum swings back and forth.

On the whole, that has been a good thing for our nation.

But never mind all tha'.
Now if we can just get more gents to wear kilts... Yes we can!

After watching CNN all night, I am a happy man.

45 minutes in line, a small price.

The going-on 20 hours of reporting, thus far, is beginning to wear a bit, though....
